Decent Stay with Room Issues
amazing locationterrible showerloud heating
The location was amazing and the view from the room was lovely.
I was quite disappointed with the room itself. The shower was terrible and the heating made loud noises. It was enough to wake me up (I didn't sleep well).

Awesome Stay! I Felt Pampered!
friendly receptionistlovely optionssteam roommissing information
Check-in went quickly! The receptionist seemed friendly and very helpful. The breakfast had lovely options. I totally enjoyed the full Scottish. I used the pool, sauna, and steam room! Those are super nice.
The hotel accepted pets, yet it felt not pet friendly. I found difficulty to get more information about the hotel. There were no information pack in the room. It felt bizarre!
